Magic Mineral Makeup
We love loose mineral eyeshadows, not just because they are good for our skin and
have gorgeous vibrant colours, we also love their versatility.
Here are some of our favourite hints & tips when it comes to using loose mineral
eyeshadows.
Custom Colours
Create your own unique, custom colours by taking a couple of loose mineral eyeshadows &
mixing them together. Then use them in any of the ways below and have your own personal
colour that no one else is wearing!
Foiling
Foiling loose powder eye shadow brings out the rich tones for a more dramatic effect as well as
making your shadow last all day.
Foiling, in makeup artist terms, simply means to blend a cosmetic mixing medium or water with
the makeup powder for a paste consistency then apply with makeup applicator or brush to
designated areas like you would a cream eyeshadow.
Eyeliner
Use the same method as foiling by mixing the shadow with a mixing medium (or water) and
apply wet to the lash line with an eyeliner brush.
Powder Blush
To use as a blush, just pour a small amount out onto a dish, swirl your brush around in it and
apply lightly to the cheeks.
Cream Blush
To create a liquid blush, mix in the eyeshadow with a tiny amount of moisturiser (just enough to
create a paste). Apply to the apples of your cheek with your fingers & blend.
Body Shimmer
Mix in a small amount of pigment with a body lotion and lightly massage into your skin.
